When Xiao Yingze walked out of the ward, he still couldn't believe what he had just seen. Just a phone call could make Masnian so weak. How much pain did he endure alone when he was in Luo City?
Gessen was used to this, and when faced with Xiao Yingze's inquiry, he answered patiently.
"This is already the mildest symptom. Now we inject him with sedatives every day, which can basically stabilize his mood. Without the intervention of these drugs, a slight mood swing may cause heart rhythm disorders. The most serious one is the heart.
Stop beating and you may die at any time."
Hearing this, Xiao Yingze punched the wall. He had seen people who were tortured by illness, but when something like this happened to his loved one, he knew what despair and grief meant.
Seeing Xiao Yingze's serious face and sad eyes, Gessen walked over and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.
"Don't worry, we will do our best to treat him. I'm going back to rest first."
After that, Gessen left the ward.
Xiao Yingze looked at the sleeping Masnian through the transparent glass in the ward. He walked back to his room with a complicated mood. He tossed and turned that night and didn't fall asleep until early in the morning.
The next day, at eight o'clock in the morning, Masnian was pushed into the operating room, and Xiao Yingze also met Gessen's teacher, Professor Kubu, for the first time.
Seeing the white-haired old man with a calm and confident face, Xiao Yingze breathed a sigh of relief.
Almost two hours after the operation started, Xiao Yingze received a call from Xiao Zichen.
"Daddy, it's so late, aren't you still asleep?"
At this point, it should be past 11 o'clock at night in Luocheng.
"Sleep later. I'll give you a call while your mommy is asleep. Has Si Nian's surgery started?"
Xiao Zichen was also very worried. He pinched his hands and made sure that Mo Yurou was asleep before quietly going to the study.
"It has already started, Daddy, don't worry too much, I will tell you after the operation is over."
After Xiao Yingze finished speaking, there was a soft sigh from the other end of the phone, and then he spoke again.
"Okay, I'm just a little worried. Yingze, I'll leave it to your brother. If anything happens, you must inform me as soon as possible."
"I understand, Daddy, go to bed quickly. Good night."
After that, Xiao Yingze hung up the phone. The door of the operating room was always closed and no one came in or out. Xiao Yingze couldn't find anyone to ask about the progress of the operation.
The operation lasted for more than five hours. Finally, the door of the operating room opened, and two nurses hurried out. Without giving Xiao Yingze a chance to ask, they walked to an icehouse. After a while, the two of them hugged two nurses.
A sealed box came over again.
"How is the operation going? How long will it take to finish?"
Xiao Yingze stopped one of the nurses and asked hurriedly.
"Please wait outside, the patient is waiting for the medicine here."
When the nurse said this, Xiao Yingze did not dare to stop him. As soon as he let go, the nurse ran into the operating room again.
It was more than two hours of suffering again. This time, Gessen came out in person, but judging from his expression, it didn't seem like the news was good.
"Is the operation over?"
Gessen hesitated for a moment, neither shaking his head nor nodding, and then spoke solemnly.
"It's over, but we still have to observe it inside for another hour."
Hearing this, Xiao Yingze paused for a moment, his mouth half-opened, but he didn't dare to ask about the words on his lips. In the end, Shan Jingyu on the side helped him ask.
"Was the operation successful?"
This time, Gessen paused for a long time, until the last bit of hope in Xiao Yingze's heart was almost shattered, and he asked nervously.
"Failed?"
This time, Gessen made some noise and shook his head. Seeing this, Xiao Yingze breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second, Gessen's words made his heart skip a beat.
"Half the battle."
"What do you mean? Success is success. Why is there such a thing as half-success?"
Xiao Yingze was a little emotional. He had been standing outside during the nearly ten-hour operation. God knows how nervous he was, and his mood might collapse at any time.
Now Gessen told him an ambiguous answer, which is that everyone has emotions. Fortunately, Gessen was used to seeing such patients and family members, so he was not angry. Instead, he patted Xiao Yingze's shoulder and comforted him.
"Mr. Xiao, please don't get excited. Listen to what I have to say."
Xiao Yingze was still rational. He took two deep breaths, tried to control his emotions, and then waited for Gessen's answer.
"We injected Si Nian with the latest drug, but we didn't expect that the drug we injected him last time actually merged with the new drug this time in his body, catalyzing a new effect. The drug we studied this time
The medicine was based on the last one with several other ingredients added. It was originally an active molecule to stabilize the efficacy of the medicine. Unexpectedly, the fusion of the two medicines produced new molecules that destroyed his body's immune system. We have taken remedial measures.
, but the specific situation will not be known until he wakes up."
Hearing this, although Xiao Yingze didn't know much about the pathology of these drugs, he heard a key word, and then he grabbed Gessen's shoulders with excitement and asked.
"So, as long as he wakes up, he'll be fine, right?"
When asked this question, Gessen's expression turned even worse than before. Now, Xiao Yingze was on the verge of collapse again.
"I'm asking you something, but you should tell me."
"There's something else Gessen hasn't told you."
At this time, a deep and tired voice came from the door of the operating room. Gessen heard it and immediately went over to help the speaker.
"Teacher, didn't I tell you to take a rest?"
The visitor was none other than Professor Kubu. The ten-hour operation had already exhausted him. Originally, he was going to explain Masnian's situation to Xiao Yingze. Gessen didn't want Kubu to work too hard, so he persuaded him to go back and rest. Unexpectedly,
Kubu actually returned to the operating room again.
"Since this gentleman is a family member of Si Nian, he has the right to know everything that happened during our operation."
After speaking, Professor Kubu looked at Xiao Yingze.
"Because in order to prolong Mr. Si Nian's life, we used sleep-aid drugs on him for a long time. This drug has been deposited in his body for a long time. This time the new medicine catalyzed the drug and destroyed Si Nian's body.
Mr. Si Nian’s immune system also triggers the effects of sleep-aid drugs, and Mr. Si Nian may fall into a drowsy state.”
Hearing this, Xiao Yingze probably guessed what it meant. He looked at Professor Kubu and asked.
"You mean, my brother may never wake up?"
Kubu hesitated for a moment, then nodded, but also hurriedly explained.
"But we are still working hard. We will find a way to dilute the sleeping aid drugs in his body. As long as there are no such drugs, he can wake up. There is also good news. This new drug is effective for his disease.
It is effective. We will conduct pathological analysis on Mr. Snian's mutated gene later. If the medicine is effective, the disease that has troubled him for so many years can be cured. As long as he wakes up, he can be like a normal person."
Hearing this, Xiao Yingze didn't know whether he should be happy or sad. It should have been something worth celebrating, but now he didn't know when Masnian would wake up, so what's the use even if his original disease was cured.
Knowing what Xiao Yingze was struggling with, Kubu walked over and said with confidence.
"Mr. Xiao, please believe us. We can all overcome medical problems. Can't we still let Mr. Snian wake up?"
Now there is no other way, Xiao Yingze can only accept the reality.
After a while, Masnian was pushed out, with a tube still inserted in his body, and fluids being transfused on the back of his hand. He was lying on the bed calmly, without any reaction, but his face was unusually rosy, and he really seemed to be asleep.
Same.
Xiao Yingze followed him to the ward. The nurse and Gessen were busy checking Masnian's body and recording data. After everyone left, the ward finally returned to calm.
Looking at Mas Nian who was unconscious on the bed, Xiao Yingze had nothing to do except sigh.
Just then, the phone rang again. When I picked it up, I saw it was their father's call again. Xiao Yingze picked it up.
"Dad, why so early?"
Calculating the time, it should be around five o'clock in the morning in Luocheng.
"Can't sleep, Yingze, is your brother's surgery over?"
On the phone, Xiao Zichen's worried voice came.
After Xiao Yingze heard this, he didn't know how to answer for a while. Should he say it was a success? But Mas Nian's current situation was not considered a success at all. After thinking about it, Xiao Yingze could only describe Mas Nian one by one.
All the circumstances were told.
A long sigh came from the other side of the phone, followed by a long silence. Just when Xiao Yingze was a little worried about Xiao Zichen's situation, his voice came from the phone.
"As long as the person is alive, doesn't it mean that his operation is successful? Since the research center has said so, it means that your brother will definitely wake up. We must have confidence in them, and we must have confidence in Si Nian.
.”
Hearing what his father said, Xiao Yingze took a breath.
"Okay, I'll ask you to take good care of your brother. Your mother will wake up soon, so I'll hang up first to avoid making him suspicious."
After saying that, Xiao Zichen hurriedly hung up the phone.
